usage

    var chai = require('chai')
    chai.should()
    chai.use(require('chai-interface'))
 
    var foo = {
      bar: true,
      baz: 'green',
      qux: 37,
      quack: function () {},
      ducks: [1, 2, 3]
    }

Also, more complex, nested objects!

    var user = {
      name: {
        first: 'Betty',
        last: 'Dodson'
      },
      emails: {
        work: 'b.dodson@megacorp.com',
        home: 'butterflychica947@lol.com',
        school: 'bdodso4@stateu.edu'
      }
    }
 
    user.should.have.interface({
      name: {
        first: String,
        last: String
      },
      emails: {
        work: String,
        home: String,
        school: String
      }
    })
